The One and Only Lyrics

Chesney Hawkes - "The One and Only"
By Nik Kershaw
Bjrn T. Dahl (minor fixes, major cleanup)
H
I am the one and only,
H
Oh yeah!
(Verse 1)
H
Call me, call me by my name or
H
call me by my number
H
Put me through it
I'll still be doing it the way I do it
Hm
And yet you try to make me forget
Who I really am
don't tell me I'd know best
H
I'm not the same as all the rest
(Chorus)
H
I am the one and only
H
No body I'd rather be
I am the one and only
H
You can't take that away from me
(Verse 2)
H
I've been a player in the crowd scene
H
A flicker on the big screen
H
My soul embraces
one more in a million faces
Hm
High hopes and aspirations, ideas
above my station, maybe
but all this time I tried
H
to walk with dignity and pride
(Chorus)
H
I am the one and only
H
No body I'd rather be
I am the one and only
H
You can't take that away from me
(Bridge)
I can't wear this uniform
Without some compromises
Because you'll find out that we come
In different shapes and sizes
(Short Verse 3)
No one can be myself like I can
For this job I'm the best man
And while this maybe true,
you are the one and only you!
(Guitar solo, or Chorus in A)
I am the one and only
No body I'd rather be
I am the one and only
H
You can't take that away from me
(Chorus)
H
I am the one and only
H
No body I'd rather be
I am the one and only
H
You can't take that away from me
(Chorus)
H
I am the one and only
H
No body I'd rather be
I am the one and only
H
You can't take that away from me
